TOKYO, Aug 21 (Reuters) - Carlyle Group ( CG )-backed Japanese
beer maker Orion Breweries plans to list on the Tokyo Stock
Exchange on September 25 after raising about 16.7 billion yen
($113.26 million), a regulatory filing showed on Thursday.
The initial public offering comes six years after Carlyle
and Nomura Capital Partners jointly acquired the
Okinawa-based beer company via a $386.68 million management
buyout.
Carlyle and Nomura currently each own about 40% of the
company while railway operator Kintetsu Group Holdings ( KINUF )
also owns about 10% of shares.
Founded in 1957, Orion Breweries produces and distributes
alcoholic beverages and soft drinks.
